My kids’ friends and classmates are a diverse lot, and their names reflect it.There’s Seamus and Shivarama, a boy named Delaney and a girl called Jordan.Yes, we have Matthew and Sam and Zoe.But in their school of 300 kids, I can count the number of names that repeat on one hand.

Even though we know lots of boys with unusual names, it seems like girls have the edge.Statistics bear it out.In 2012, over 78% of boys received a Top 1000 name, but fewer than 67% of all girls did.

This past week seemed to be all about unusual, but perfectly wearable, names for girls.I’m not thinking of headline-grabbing choices like North and Khaleesi.Instead, I’m thinking of the wide universe of wearable names, choices that are a little bit different, but not staggeringly strange.
